CAREERS EXHIBITION AT PHOENIX HIGH MAKES POSSIBLE TANGIBLE

- AVRIL FILLIES

The fourth careers exhibition held at Phoenix High in Manenberg on Tuesday 29 July not only informed learners from Manenberg about career choices, but they will now be able to make informed decisions about their future, away from gangsterism, drug abuse and other daily social ills.

Grade 11 and 12 learners from five local high schools, Cathkin, Phoenix, Manenberg, Heideveld and Silverstream School of Skills in Manenberg, attended the exhibition organised by Manenberg Police Station.

Exhibitors included tertiary institutions and different units within the police service. Learners received firsthand information about the requirements to enrol as students or aspiring police officers.

Co-hosted by the Western Cape Provincial Police office, the Western Cape Education Department and Safer Schools, the exhibition introduced learners to a vast range of career options and opportunities.
